| Body Site: | eye / eye | Age: | 51 years | ||
| Contributor: | Jerzy Pawlak, MSc,PhD | ||||
| Description: | A computerised tomographic scan of the orbits with infusion showed a fungating exophytic mass occupying the posterior third of the right vitreous. | ||||
| Comments: | A 51-year-old woman with a known choroidal melanoma (diagnosed 5 years earlier) developed marked visual loss to her right eye due to a massive retinal hemorrhage. The hemorrhage prevented examination of her retina. An ultrasound showed significant tumour growth. A computerised tomographic scan of the orbits with infusion showed a fungating exophytic mass occupying the posterior third of the right vitreous. There was no evidence of extension through the globe. | ||||

| Body Site: | face / cheek | Age: | 73 years | ||
| Contributor: | Stelios Mina, MD | ||||
| Description: | large indurated red plaque involving much of he right cheek and lower eye lid with scattered overlying well demarcated 2 mm to 2 cm macules and patches | ||||
| Comments: | A 73-year-old woman was evaluated for a pigmented lesion on her face, and a biopsy revealed a seborrheic keratosis. A year later she was noted to have a painful rock hard brown plaque, which on epeat biopsy showed a desmoplastic melanoma overlying a lentigo maligna. Immunohistochemical analysis for S-100 was positive. Desmoplastic melanoma is a term first used by Conley in 1971 to describe a variant of melanoma characterized by a dermal spindle cell population in a background of abundant collagen. Eight years later, Reed and Leonard used the term desmoplastic neurotropic melanoma to describe desmoplastic melanomas with nerve infiltration. Although desmoplastic melanoma may arise de novo, it is most commonly associated with other types of melanoma, mainly lentigo maligna. Like lentigo maligna, desmoplastic melanoma occurs in older individuals, most commonly in the sixth decade of life, and has a slight predilection for males (male-to-female ratio 1.75:1). Lesions are most often located on sun-exposed skin of the head and neck but can also be located on the trunk or extremities. Clinically, desmoplastic melanoma poses great diagnostic difficulty. Lesions are often described as raised, indurated nodules that are most often amelanotic. Although desmoplastic melanomas are typically diagnosed as advanced lesions, when matched stage for stage, they are generally considered to have survival rates similar to conventional melanomas. | ||||

| Diagnosis: | MELANOMA, LENTIGO MALIGNA / MELANOMA | Category: | neoplasm, malignant / dermoscopy | ||
| Body Site: | cheek / face | Age: | 40 years | ||
| Contributor: | Eric Ehrsam, MD | ||||
| Description: | dermoscopy of lentigo maligna melanoma | ||||
| Comments: | A 69-year-old woman was evaluated for an enlarging pigmented lesion of her right cheek. A malignant lentigo melanoma was clinically suspected. Two biopsies were performed with the help of dermoscopy to outline the borders of the lesion. Pathology revealed a lentigo maligna melanoma. On this dermoscopic image (X50), one can see slate-gray dots and globules leading to annular-granular pattern which is typical of lentigo maligna melanoma.
